The Dyre family of banking malware is back in the news after researchers recently observed that the malware incorporated tricks to avoid detection in malware sandboxes. Previously, Dyre was most notable for targeting high value bank accounts, including business accounts, and incorporating sophisticated social engineering components to overcome the 2-factor authentication used by most banks.

While ABM is not a new way to strategically market to target accounts, now it is a scalable, achievable strategy that organizations of all sizes can implement to focus on whole lifecycle marketing for key accounts. Marketing, selling to, and supporting your customers at an account-level is not only critical to your success, it’s what your customers expect.
Competitive organizations that are focused on engaging their customers across the entire lifecycle, and throughout their buyer journey, need to sell at an account level, understand the influence of the different contacts and speak directly to them. The ABM we practice today is entirely different than the manual processes of days past. Implementing an ABM strategy no longer means an astronomical investment but it does mean increased revenue, focus, and partnership within your organization.

Account-based strategy is the coordination of highly valuable, personalized experiences across all functions that impact the customer to drive engagement and conversion at a targeted set of accounts.
The adoption of account-based strategy has accelerated in the last few years, with a dramatic increase in the number of companies looking to implement this approach. This growth is driving demand to “start now,” particularly in marketing organizations, but account-based cannot be developed by the marketing department alone. The best account-based leaders begin by securing organization-wide commitment to the account-based strategy.

Yes, your company is a ripe target for fraud - but it doesn't have to be.
Cybercriminals love small to medium businesses, since they have more money in their bank accounts than individuals, but often lack the sophisticated technology and vigilant processes of larger organizations. Gartner estimates that more than 10 percent of small businesses have had funds stolen from their bank accounts.
